Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution scales well.""The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application.""We can scan anything.""The product seems stable enough.""I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""The metadata management of Informatica is great.""The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best.""Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features."

"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems.""It is simple to transfer files.""It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs.""In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine.""The initial setup is easy.""Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework.""The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems.""The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."

Cons
"It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen.""They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities.""The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future.""The solution is quite expensive.""The model is somewhat flexible. There are certain aspects of the model that are not as flexible as we would like. It doesn't do certain things to a great level of depth. So, in situations where we want to drill in to do something specific, we have to essentially copy that data into our own structures in order to add that additional layer of flexibility.""The scalability is tough.""This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems.""It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."

"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends.""The cloud capability features need improvement.""Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information.""The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates.""We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters.""The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life.""The older version of the solution will no longer be supported.""I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
